The jam must be starting right under your door step.Sad Sad Sad
What was the cc of your car?


On Waiyaki way, there are no jams on most days. The traffic build up mostly starts somewhere near museum hill round about - at around 7:00 am that is. I can see how theking would spend 250/= on fuel.
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Getting this people to cooperate is extremely difficult especially if they get serious injuries. They will get "advisors" from all over and all it takes is one of them to contradict you and you are done! Also insurance guys have been in this business for long and they know people do this kind of stuff. Accident, five occupants in the car, roughly the kawaida time for going to jobo or leave jobo and their first suspicion will be that these were paying passengers. Once they get their investigators on the case - you are fried! The passengers will be interogated separately (after being informed lying will affect their compensation) and the truth will come out. They will be asked wierd questions like when you bought the car, got married, how many kids you have, where you work, live etc., where you went to school, your full name, names of your wife and kids bla bla bla - One will break - and that's all they need!

You are by yourself after that! Repair your car and pay the passengers. Woe unto you if any of them institutes a civil case against you. You could get stuck with a multi-million bill and as kariita correctly points out, you can kiss all your earthly belongings goodbye!

In the best case scenario, all the passengers might be okay with you clearing their medical bills if there were no permanent injuries. In some cases though they start talking about lost income, permanent disability, psychological problems arising from the accident etc. etc. At that point, you are better off moving in with Kabuga!

Am aspiring to genuinely join this club pretty soon. I still have questions tho regarding its durability, as compared to the Premio...new model. Anyone?


not clear what you mean by durability.

however note that the premio (new look) and allion are basically one and the same car (same engine for the various models, same chassis etc).

they however differ in look and target market. the premio is the upscale, elegant older brother of the youthful, sporty allion. the premio obviously targets the older generation (family, executives etc) while the allion target the younger generation (taxis - it has great back space, law enforcement agencies etc) - if you are over 30 then leave the allion alone (just my opinion).

otherwise the handling is great and it is pretty stable at high speeds. can do 160-170 without feeling it.

@Mkenyan ....... Pole bro .... I know the feeling! What happened to the side mirrors? There is a buddy of mine with the same label .. let me have your contacts then i link u up with him.

About oil, if from Total then i think its QUARTZ. I have been running on Helix but not sure whether synthetic or not.


they got popped out from the parking. luckily only the mirrors went so wasn't hard replacing them. tried sending you a pm but there seems to be no way of doing that at the great wazua.

can reach me at mkenyann(at)yahoo.com. would appreciate the contact and trust they are legit (don't want to benefit from someone's gain like someone clearly did from mine).

@Theking
Utashangaa!You wont believe the kind of stuff those passengers will unleash once an accident occurs. No matter how minor the accident! They even forget how little they'd paid you. It usually turns very ugly... Beware!
Nevermind what haters say, ignore them til they fade away - Just live your life
